Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Glee's not mine... If it were BLAINE WOULDN'T HAVE CHEATED... Just saying.
George liked to think he was a fairly reasonable father when it came to giving Blaine an allowance. He let his son have free reign on his credit card as long as he could justify all of his purchases.
The first time they'd had to discuss it was during Blaine's sophomore year at Dalton when there was a sudden rise in the amount of petrol he bought. Once he'd heard the full explanation George had told Blaine that he could drive to Lima twice during the week as long as he came home in the weekends.
After that George found that Blaine would come to him or his mother when he wanted to buy something that would look odd on his credit card statement.
So he was very confused as to why there was a statement in front of him saying that Blaine had bought a plane ticket.
"Lily! Could you come here for a moment?" George called out for his wife, staring at the screen with a deep frown.
"Yes, Honey?" Lily asked when she came through the door to his study. George sent a small smile to his wife.
"Did Blaine ask you about buying a plane ticket? I'm assuming it's to see Kurt but I thought he was visiting him soon anyway." He asked. Lily frowned in response.
"No, he didn't." She glanced at her watch. "Glee should be finishing soon, we could call to ask?"
George nodded.
"I just don't know why he didn't ask us. Granted we probably would have said no considering how close it is to his planned trip."
Lily came over and rubbed a hand over his shoulders. George smiled up at her and pressed a kiss to his wife's wrist.
"I need to go and keep an eye on the cake I just put in the oven but come get me when you want to call him." She kissed his forehead quickly before leaving the room.
Twenty minutes later George went out to the kitchen, his phone already in his hand.
"Hey, Lovely, do you want me to put it on speaker?" He asked, pulling his youngest's name up on the screen of his phone.
"I don't mind." Lily replied, focusing on her mixing bowl. George nodded and pressed the call button. It went straight to voice-mail.
"That's strange. It went to voice-mail." He told his wife while re-dialing.
"But Blaine always keeps his phone on, in case Kurt calls." Lily frowned. "I wouldn't call Kurt in case it's a surprise for an anniversary or something. Maybe one of his friends knows."
George sighed. He usually made a point of getting the numbers of all Blaine's closest friends in case they need to get in contact with him and can't reach him on his phone but the truth is that Blaine hadn't had any close friends since Kurt left.
Blaine had been a lot more subdued than normal in the last few months and his parents had been worried. They'd tried to talk to him about it but Blaine would just brush it off.
"Mike might know?" George knew he was clasping at straws.
"He would have someone else's number at least. Trent might know though, Blaine seems to still be quite close with him even after what the Warblers did last year."
George pulled up Trent's name first and pressed call.
"Hi, Mr A." The teen answered happily. "How are you?"
"I'm very well, thank you, Trent. And you?"
"I'm good! Senior year is great!"
Trent had always matched Blaine's happiness and enthusiasm, George supposed that was why they were such good friends.
"Listen, Trent, I was wondering if you knew where Blaine was? We can't get a hold of him." He asked.
"Oh, no sorry, Mr A. I spoke to Blaine last week but he kind of went off the grid after that." Trent sounded a little calmer.
"Okay, thank you anyway, Trent. Would you let us know if you hear anything?" George asked.
"Of course. It was good speaking to you."
"You too, son." George hung up and sighed. Lily patted his hand.
"Try Mike."
George dialed the boy who had become Blaine's best friend. Mike had been a constant presence at their house whenever Kurt wasn't.
"Hello, Mr Anderson." The boy sounded out of breath. "Sorry, I was just practicing this move I keep messing up."
George chuckled, he didn't think Mike could mess up a move if he tried.
"Sorry to interrupt, Mike. I know it's a bit of a long shot but I was hoping you could tell me where Blaine is."
"Oh, um. He went to see Kurt. I thought he would tell you guys first. He called me last night and was a complete wreck then he told me something happened and he needed to talk to Kurt but didn't know how so I suggested going to see him. I can ask Rachel to make sure he gets there safe, if you'd like?" Mike said. George furrowed his brow.
"Is he okay? What happened?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr Anderson, but I can't tell you that. Blaine told me in confidence."
"Of course, sorry, Mike." George sighed.
"No problem. I'll text you when Rachel contacts me."
"Thank you." He hung up and dropped his head to the kitchen counter. "He's in New York and Mike is going to text us when he hears he's safe."
"Fill me in? I didn't get half the conversation."
George stood up and rubbed a hand over his face.
"Something has happened that made Blaine need to talk to Kurt so he went there." He explained.
Lily nodded.
"I guess we can only wait now."
The text came after they'd had dinner and were settled in the living room together, George reading a book and Lily going over the recipes for her next book.
A loud buzzing filled the room.
He's arrived and will call you tomorrow. I tried to get him to call now but they went out.
George read the text out for his wife and sighed.
"He'll be fine, Honey, he's with Kurt." Lily said, trying to calm him but there was an uneasy feeling in George's stomach that wouldn't shift no matter how much he tried to reassure himself.
No call came the next morning but a sobbing figure burst through the front door and straight into his mother's arms while they were eating breakfast.
"You're going to hate me. Kurt does… I do." Blaine said quietly, staring down at his hands. It had taken several hours of rocking their son between them to get him to calm down enough to talk.
"Oh, B-b. We could never hate you." Lily stroked his face, pushing messy curls off his face. She hadn't used that nickname since Blaine was four. It made Blaine start to tear up again.
"I don't even kn-now why I-I did it." He stuttered out, still avoiding his parents' eyes. "I was just so lonely and Kurt wasn't answering my calls. He shouldn't have answered my calls! He was at work. Oh god I'm so stupid!"
Lily wrapped her arms back around him and rubbed up and down his back as he cried more. She looked over at George who looked like his heart was breaking in his chest.
"We're here, Blaine." He said gruffly. Blaine quietened again and held his hand out towards his father, making a grabby gesture. George squeezed his hand tightly.
"I cheated on him." He blurted out. "I'm so stupid! He's never going to speak to me again! He-he's my soulmate, I know it! But I gave up that chance because I was so stupid and lonely. And he never forgot about me like I though, as soon as he saw me his whole face just… Lit up."
Blaine was whispering harshly. His parents were both shocked into silence though neither let go of their son.
George was the first to recover.
"Blaine, you're young-."
"I DON'T NEED TO BE OLDER TO KNOW HE'S IT!" Blaine shouted. George squeezed his hand.
"That's not what I was saying. I was going to say that people make mistakes, son. It was a moment of weakness. Anyone can see how much you love each other, Blaine. It may take time but you boys will get there." He said quietly.
"But he shouldn't talk to me. I broke his heart, Daddy. I literally saw it happen before my eyes."
Lily tightened her arms.
"But you told him, love. That takes a lot of courage."
"I'm just a stupid coward. I couldn't handle being alone!" Blaine wrenched away from his parents and ran up the stairs to his room.
George felt a tear slip down his face.
"He's hurting so much." Lily whispered. George took a deep breath and wiped the tear away.
"We'll have to hug him extra hard then, until he's okay again."s
